Anyone know if this is legit? When I worked at Geek Squad, I purchased a few ATI cards through the BB internal system at a reduced price. I have an online ordering email account, and all I use it for is shipping verifications etc. This was just sent to it... Any other OTers get this? Is it real? Is it a scam?

peace

but i'm not too impressed with their website. I would probably spam that e-mail myself.

I was seriously tempted to spam it. Here is the deal though. The website is as legit looking as I'd expect any other lawfirm's. The other deal is they don't ask for any specific information other than your name, and address. They state that they'll be able to look up the original invoices up through ati.... So DON'T spam them. In my experience, if you are trying to scam someone form their money, then you'd instead ask for a small fee up front.

I've received mail about class action lawsuits before (ok once) and I thought the same shit "oh man this can't be real it doesn't even have my name in it" but I guess because of the volume of mail the firm must send they just use the one generic mailer.

HIS IS REAL! I GOT A CHECK YESTERDAY IN THE MAIL FOR $431.27 BASED ON MY PURCHASES.

If you ever purchased an ATI card directly from their website, you're set. This worked out for me extremely well considering I ACTUALLY bought the card for way less than retail - but was credited the retail value! I basically got paid $200 to use that card for three years!
